Two receut cases of shooting moose In
close time have come to light In one New
York sportsman shot fine moose on Nell
Branch Of the Penobscot. The game war
den was on his track and summoned two
guides to appear before the recent term of
court at Dover to give testimony. When
the grand jury met the guides failed to put
in their appearance, but soon receiving
visit from the sheriff they were taken to
Dover where fine and costs was imposed
upon them, amounting to S35 each. An in
dictment was found against the New York
sportsman, but he prudently left the State
the day before the Indictment was returned.
II he ever returns here, says the Bangor
Whig, and he is frequent visitant. he will
be arrested and tried under the indictment.
In another case moose was killed on Rus
hind quarters being taken away and the
remainder OF the carcass left to rot. The
warden on the track of the delinauents and
they, too, will have to pay the penalty of
violating the laws, the efficacy of which
alone enables them to find moose in the
